'In-Dangdut' on TPI

From Merdeka

Being a dangdut-music buff, I never miss a show of In-Dangdut, televised on TPI. It would be nice if the show was more selective about the music it played. Another concern is Peggy Melati hosting the show alone. Earlier she was accompanied by Mamiek Prakoso or another host, and it was exciting to watch the show.

Regarding the songs, please do not air too many weeping ones, unless they are quality music. Dangdut is no more synonymous with crying than it is with low-quality music, and it is pitiful to hear songs that sound like whimpering.
